Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
bcachefs: grab s_umount only if snapshotting<br />
<br />
When I was testing mongodb over bcachefs with compression,<br />
there is a lockdep warning when snapshotting mongodb data volume.<br />
<br />
$ cat test.sh<br />
prog=bcachefs<br />
<br />
$prog subvolume create /mnt/data<br />
$prog subvolume create /mnt/data/snapshots<br />
<br />
while true;do<br />
$prog subvolume snapshot /mnt/data /mnt/data/snapshots/$(date +%s)<br />
sleep 1s<br />
done<br />
<br />
$ cat /etc/mongodb.conf<br />
